I've followed these instructions
https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/convert-data-files/convert-quicken-data-to-quickbooks-desktop/00/185867
When i get to the end and open quickbooks, there is NOT a menu option for File-> Utilities -> Convert. Under File->Utilities i only have Verify, Rebuild and Condense data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    QuickBooks can only convert Quicken for Windows files. If you are a Quicken for Mac user, you will need to convert to a Quicken for Windows file before converting to QuickBooks.

    You didn't read the 3rd dot in that article you posted.

    I don't think you're reading my post fully.
    In the article it shows this statement:
    Use the Conversion Utility
    Convert your Quicken file using the Conversion Utility in QuickBooks Desktop.

    To do this, go to File > Utilities > Convert, then select From Quicken.
    Select the Quicken file (.QDF) that you want to convert.
    The Conversion Utility will guide you through the rest of the conversion.

    My Quickbooks does NOT have a 'Convert' option under the Utilities folder.

    You probably should ask over in the QuickBooks forum or call them.  That's all we know about it.
